A Renaissance Revival Carved Marble Centre Table

About the Item

A Renaissance Revival Carved White Statuary Marble Centre or Garden Table. The replaced rectangular Carrara marble top with ogee bevel-cut edge. It is supported on two lyre-shaped table ends carved in fine white statuary marble with volutes and winged female mask terminals above fruiting garlands. Between are seated cherubs embracing beneath an arch. Tables with carved marble figural end supports are associated with the Renaissance period and were themselves inspired by Roman models. The Sphinx-like supports and strapwork carving to the present lyre-shaped ends can be called Renaissance revival, but the embracing cherubs are more sympathetic and typical of late 19th century romanticism. The tenderly modelled cherubs, representing all-conquering love, look as if they are lifted from a painting by Bouguereau. Beautifully sculpted and finely detailed, such tables are more sculpture than furniture and were carved in the Florentine workshops of sculptors such as Antonio Frilli and Raffaello Romanelli. The height of the table lends itself to use as a centre table or drinks table, either inside, or outside as a garden or terrace table. The height is perfect for the use with high stools as a dining table. Italy, Circa 1890.

Napoleon III Algerian Onyx-Marble Centre Table, by Maison Marnyhac
By Maison Marnyhac 1
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Napoleon III gilt-bronze and onyx centre table, By Maison Marnyhac, Paris. Signed to the edge of the stretcher 'MAISON MARNYHAC 1. RUE DE LA PAIX PARIS'. This opulent centre table has a beautifully patterned onyx top inset within stiff-leaf cast gilt-bronze border and guilloche patterned frieze. The legs modelled as female terms with arms crossed and holding atop their heads flower filled baskets. The lower part of the legs are formed as tapering pilasterrs joined by an elaborate loop stretcher with central platform. France, Circa 1865 This table is exemplary of the finest luxury furniture made during the opulent Second Empire period. The use of Algerian onyx-marble is especially indicative of this period as it was not until the 1840s that the quarries near Constantine in Algeria, then under French rule, which had been abandoned since antiquity, were rediscovered. Alphonse Pallu et Cie presented the stone at the Exhibition of Algerian Products in Paris in 1860 and established the Compagnie des Marbres Onyx...
